It’s just not right how some existing businesses run, where profits are more valued than people.What if instead of ignoring and turning a blind eye to a “dog eat dog” corporate culture, we instead talked about solutions and a different business model? In this "Legacy Series" conversation, I chat with my dear friend Shirley Chock. Shirley was raised in a family business and graduated with her Bachelor's of Arts in Economics from the University of Chicago. She enjoyed a 20 year career in finance and administration, including a short work life at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong. During this time, she also began training under Grandmaster Aiping Cheng and in 2006, became the U.S. Women’s Tai Chi National Champion. Over the course of her career, Shirley realized her Tai Chi training was instrumental in helping her manage workplace stress, conflicts as well as associates. In 2012, she was named “Working Mother Magazine’s Working Mother of the Year for Yale University”. In 2017, Shirley became the owner of Aiping Tai Chi Center, southern Connecticut’s largest Tai Chi school established in 1996 by her mentor. She is speaking today in the capacity of one who trains women around stress and conflict management. She is also a Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist. Mrs. Chock's perspective is that of a Tai Chi martial artist as it relates to redirecting force, momentum and energy. What I hope the viewers will learn is/are remedies to increase the health of any corporate culture, its employees, shareholders and all related parties so that "all" individual legacies can be defined, developed and executed.We talk about the concept of “fairness”, identifying ‘allies’, what makes a group gel together as a team compared to when a woman feels she has to prove her “worth”, recognizing the cycle of chasing other’s approval while disappearing from one’s own soul, the importance of a healthy corporate culture as an environment to grow, the realities of this world, how corporate cultures can be changed by the work force and how the element of water can be strong enough to break down walls. Shirley also speaks to how easy it can be to make up constructs in one's own mind in rationalizing excuses and scenarios, compared to growing through the pain of a toxic scenario. About 50 minutes in, Shirley suggests how companies and brands can create legacies by also growing with the times, as the next generations expect their corporations and institutions to be socially responsible.About 54 minutes in, Mrs. Chock highlights how endowment donors, shareholders and investors are also paying more attention now to where they give their financial resources to as Generations X, Y and Z are watching more closely.The links to the articles about two American women who faced toxic corporate situations:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sexual-harassment-ernst-young-arbitration-bill_n_5d371887e4b004b6adb65597 https://globalpropertyinc.com/2019/03/27/jlls-corrupt-culture-enabled-securities-fraud-sexual-harassment-broker-alleges-in-lawsuit/ We hope you enjoy the conversation - be sure to "like", "subscribe" and share!Shirley can be reached at:Website: https://www.aiping-taichi.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/aipingtaichicenterTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/aipingtaichiPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/AipingTaiChi-Legacy Planning is a boutique advisory firm based in Beverly Hills, California (USA) that specializes in the coaching and advisory work around personal legacies.
